I totally stink at running up hills. I used to run a lot in HS and back in 2001 I was training for a marathon and still never got good at running hills. Wasn't able to do the marathon due to hamstring issues. My IT band also flairs up with running or too much Tele skiing. So congrats to all of you for all of your great achievements. I have been running only 2x a week for about 30 min, bike about 2-3x a week and do quite a bit of hiking on the weekends. I am trying to get ready for back-country skiing
